Custom Feature: Engrave

DavisCCR

Link to Engrave

I like to label all of the machined parts I possibly can with their part numbers and revisions so my coworkers can easily find them in CAD without knowing their location in a folder. Yesterday I released the Hershey Text function and this engraving feature is meant to pair with that in my almost finished Label Feature. This custom feature simply takes a sketched line and removes the material under it as a v-groove, straight, or ball nose end mill would.

You can also use it to engrave cool patterns if labeling isn't your thing. I hope this improves some workflows!

At the very top of the post the word Engrave is in blue. That is a link to the feature script. - Scotty

@hank_debey Once you open the link to the document with the custom feature in it, there should be a (+) Plus button near the top of your screen for adding custom features to your toolbar.
